Bind again the shaft the demon could not hold;
For I saw a radiance shining
’Round the place, and angels twining
Strange and all-eternal Beauty of the gold!
Darkness reigned then, deep, unlighted,
Silence sitting near, half-frighted
By the demon’s disappointed distant wail
And far-off mingled angel voices
Tuned to music that rejoices
In the glory of a love that cannot fail.
